Sometimes I think it would be nice
To have a girlfriend or a wife.
Then I think about how what is first supremely sweet
Can turn acidically sour.
I think about all the relationships and marriages
Shipwrecked on seas of disillusionment,
And wonder to myself, do I really want to take the chance,
The possibility of an abandoned love and a marooned heart.
Without doubt it can be advantageous when one becomes two,
But the tides are high and the seas can run dry.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
